Bittersweetheart

Bittersweetheart - Soul Asylum

Why you always want to get the best of me

I'm like a seeing-eye dog

And I can't even see

They're naked and they're following

My master who is blind

And my mind's gone to pieces

I could use some piece of mind

So I picked up the pieces

And I made a new start

Stole an old stiletto

Started stabbing in the dark

I can't live without it

I would surely fall apart

But it's hard to make arrangements

'Round a bittersweetheart

Bittersweetheart bittersweetheart

Better get yourself a little street smart

Bittersweetheart sad but true

It's a bittersweetheart

That's a hard heart to cure

It's just my bittersweetheart

It's like a suicide mission

When you can't see no end

Tired of compliment-fishing

And impressing your friends

I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell

It's a little bit of heaven

And a whole lot of hell

In the eye of the beholder

Is a beautiful start

But you always seem to end up

With a bittersweetheart

There's a darkness looming

But the sun is shining bright

I can live to see the morning

If I stay up all night

Bittersweetheart bittersweetheart

Without a shortcut

Without a head-start

Bittersweetheart sad but true

It's a bittersweetheart

That's a hard heart to cure

My bittersweetheart

It's the hardest part

Bittersweetheart bittersweetheart

Are you in there are you beating

Beating me up until I'm bleeding

How much blood can you spare

Bittersweetheart bittersweetheart

Think just a drink might

Get you to the good part

Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do

It's a bittersweetheart

That'a a hard heart to cure

In time inside you find

You always wind up

With a bittersweetheart
